Player types determine the player character's physical attributes and limitations.
Player type properties include weight, initial hit points, speed,
traction, and a wide variety of other physical traits. The most noticeable
of these properties is the one specifying a Player Set, which determines
the player's appearance and sounds. A player's type may change
upon completing a given level (thus affecting his appearance and abilities),
or it may be carried over to later levels. Player types are described
in more detail in the Player
Type Editing section.
